Hello all - been a long time since I visted this forum and am after your wealth of experience!
I am still limping along with a 42 inch panny standard def TV after 8 years and £2500 lighter :O - TH-42PE30B. Fantastic TV in its day and still a great standard def picture considering its age, not to mention reliability. Time has come after much waiting for the next best thing, prices to drop etc to get something bigger.
Most family viewing is SkyHD, a couple of blue-ray DVDs at weekends, and the lad uses it for his xbox/wii, although to be honest he wouldnt notice the difference on any of the new LED/Plasmas (I am not a gamer). I am also not that bothered about 3D.
Viewing distance is 14 feet, so am thinking with around £1200 to spend, 55 inch is going to be the ideal size balanced against quality of picture. Am welcome to suggestions though!
So, on that basis, what should i be shortlisting, or is there a 'buy this no question' set out there?
Many thanks.
